The Late Night

It is 3:20am in beautiful Houston. Many of us are partaking in one of the staples rituals of architecture school, the late night. There seems to be something special about the night. More work just gets done. Some very important equipment are seen in the photographs below, most of which are necessities of pulling a successful late night work session. First of all, hydration is extremely important, water bottles kept at the desk is a constant reminder to take some sips of water at regular intervals. Secondly, headphones block out external noise while pumping music. It is sometimes important to keep external headphone noise low, as it may be embarrassing when your studio mates find out that you've been listening to Lady Gaga non-stop for the past four hours because theres something about her catchy tunes that makes you work at unprecedented speeds. Lastly, caffeine is important to keep alert and awake. Coffee and tea are favorites, but exploring other options is highly encouraged. Successful late night working can be extremely productive. Even when it doesn't, it often results in some fun and memorable sleep deprived conversations.
